Question

A rope is 250 centimeters long. You need the rope to be 1 1/2 meters long. How many centimeters should you cut off?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how many centimeters should you cut off, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 1/2 meters = 3/2 meters = 1.5 meters = 150 centimeters

250 centimeters - 1 1/2 meters = 250 centimeters - 150 centimeters = 100 centimeters = 1 meter

The correct result would be 100 centimeters.
